"Helping employees learn more about what it takes to stay healthy, or providing resources to those with chronic conditions, will result in lasting benefits to both the individual and their employer."

The research features aggregate quantitative results from UPMC's 46,000 employees. The presentation includes lost work time models designed to provide results that motivate employers to promote a culture of wellness in the workplace. The ultimate goal is to improve the health and welfare of employees.
